I (and many others) seem to gravitate towards the tub form. Rumor has it that there is drastic difference in performance between the two (due to reformulation). Would love to hear your thoughts/experiences with the tube form.

Thank you for the good words, Robert.
A brief review of the cream is now posted over the 'Creams and Soaps' board as a thread.

In summary it is a very nice cream with fresh and different scent, good slickness, average moisturizing properties and mid to high price tag.

@dinatali, I do have quite a number of these brushes, the small ones are the equivalent of 1$ or so here. i do find though that the bristles expand and crack the handles, as the handles are hollow, but hey I've had a couple for a few years, they carry on working with cracked handles.
